Topic: orbiter software download problem (Read 4326 times)

hi all,first off, let me say WOW...it's amazing to see how far the world of open source has come...now, on to the problem. when i try to download the software for any of the orbiters, i get 0 byte files that (obviously) don't open or install...does anybody know why this is? i am using the latest (and greatest) version of linuxmce. i tried orbiter for ppc (xscale) and windows xp - same problem for both. any ideas?thanksmewho

*** BUT, Unfortunetely, this only appears to give you the latest .exe, and not all the DLLs and such needed to run the Orbiter. What I did was take this latest .exe and place it into the directory where I had an older PlutoHome Windows Orbiter installed. I think that one came from a system installed with the PlutoHome KickStart CDs.

I'm sorry if that seems like it is not much help unless you go through that whole process...but that's what I did to get a working Orbiter on Windows.

I also have the same problem. I have downloaded from two sources, and still have the same problem with both. The checksums are correct. I've noticed that the "pluto-orbiterinstaller_1.0_i386.deb" on both the CDs, I presume this is the installers, is only 2288 Bytes (2.2KB) Mabye there is a problem with this file? I've also tried to manually extract the files from it, but all I get is 0-bytes files.
